Gas Prices Rise for 32 Days Straight (Video)

Gas prices have increased for 32 days straight, according to AAA, which means the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has increased 13% (video below).

According to CNN, the skyrocketing gas prices have come when people are already looking at larger home heating bills and smaller paychecks because the payroll tax cuts expired last month, which the Republicans wanted cut during the last budget impasse.

As usual, the mainstream media reports the gas prices are from rising crude oil prices, production cuts and refinery closings, but none mention the oil and gas speculators who drive the price up, not actual demand.
